Street Version: Gospel

Dean Shropshire's heart for people to understand the character of God and the simplicity of His Word inspired the Street Version, a paraphrase of the Gospels written in modern-day vernacular. If you have never made Jesus your Lord, this paraphrase will give you a picture of God's love and the great plan of freedom and hope He has provided for you.

Dean Shropshire stepped into full-time ministry in 1989 to pursue the call of God on his life. Together with his wife Kathy, they pioneered chooselife CHURCH in Hobbs, NM. They held their first service on Easter 1989.

Dean Shropshire Ministries is committed to sharing the reality that there is always more available for the lives of those who would choose life!

"The Gospels are the good news of Jesus Christ, the only saving, truly rescuing power on this planet. In Street Version: The Gospels, Pastor Dean has done an extraordinary job at making them easy to read and understand. Everyone at every level will love it, and so will those who have not personally met our Savior, Jesus."

-Foreward by Mark T. Barclay, Rev., PhD

"One of the most powerful things about this New Testament paraphrase is the simplicity of language that allows one to visualize how Jesus went about healing broken hearts and setting captives free. This Street Version amplifies the fact that Jesus is showing us by His own example how we are to live and conduct ourselves as a true disciple of Christ."
